SPECIALTY DIVER SERIES
Digital Underwater Photographer
Digital has taken the underwater photography world by storm. Get in on the action with the PADI
Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty course. You can quickly and easily capture the
underwater world with your camera and on your computer.
During the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty course, you learn to use the PADI SEA
(Shoot, Examine and Adjust) method, which takes full advantage of digital technology. The result
is good underwater photos faster than you may imagine. You not only learn how to take good
photos, but how to share them with your friends via email or printing, optimizing your work with
your computer, storage and more.
Must be a PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water (or have a qualifying certification from
another training organization) However, you can take the course as a snorkeler and receive a
nondiving certification.

last dive of your PADI Open Water Diver course
Your elective Digital Underwater Photography dive conducted during the
Adventures In Diving program may count toward this specialty and vice
versa at the discretion of your PADI Instructor.
